It was so surprising

When we nearly drowned

In our own bath water.

Gasping, thrashing,

Reaching for a hand to hold,

But we only had ourselves,

Didn’t we?

Shivering, shaking,

Looking for a grip,

Anything to keep a hold of the present

Without being sucked into the past.

But we only had our mistakes,

Didn’t we?
